About us

Cape Town’s coast is dotted with 19 tidal pools, beautiful man-made seawater pools that allow for safe, family-friendly bathing. Dalebrook and St James, on the False Bay coast, are two of the most popular spots. Here, kids splash in the shallows, people swim lengths and regulars enjoy daily submersions in the chilly water.

The pools also serve as sanctuaries for numerous sea creatures, which use the calm waters and the side walls and rocks for breeding and shelter. Since October 2017 a committed group of volunteers has been working with the City of Cape Town to change and better the cleaning protocol for these tidal pools, keeping both humans and marine life safe.
